Chicago mourns the loss of Mr. Cub

By J’nelle Agee

Chicago has lost an icon. Ernie Banks, the first African-American to sign to the Chicago Cubs in 1953, has died.  The city honored the player affectionately known as Mr. Cub by bringing the bronze statue that usually sits outside of Wrigley Field to Daley Plaza.  Fans and officials gathered to  pay respect to a legend.
